On that subject, I always kinda wanted the Star Wars Christmas album. Sure, it's kinda bad, but unlike the Life Day special, it's bad in a good way. And frankly, the music isn't half as terrible as some of the stuff you hear when you go shopping. Then again, I don't really like much Christmas...

Yeah. I mean, how many of the pop stars do you actually hear about after the parade? Maybe I'm getting too old or something. That doesn't explain why I like some of the things I do that I shouldn't, but every year I'm like, man I wish I had On Demand or DVR so I can just fast forward to the...

I think this was one of his pushing the bounds of puppetry type skits. Something I appreciate much more as an adult than I ever would a kid. To be honest, this skit never scared me, it just annoyed me somehow. I can't remember what was going through my mind back then exactly, but I just...

To be fair, Jim had a lot more than one character that was continuously featured. Ernie and Bert weren't appearing much in the show as of late, and what was made seemed to be for foreign markets. Other performers split between Sesame and The Muppets have multiple roles in the show, or at least...

I'm sure the new episodes made for the half hour format will have a better flow to them. I really didn't like the street stories being edited, since they seem to have cut the punchlines of some of them. And it really felt like some of the new episodes from last season knew they had to make...

I don't see why everyone says the worst episodes are things like "Let's Get Serious" and "Robin Backwards" when episodes like Head Fruit and the Rainy Day one are just...awful. Even for them. I accept and actually enjoy that this is a trolling show and everything, but the episodes where the...

I do indeed think Hollywood has a diversity problem. I don't know if this was the right film to fix that, but I'm glad to see that Franklin had a sizable role and to see more non-Caucasian background characters. They were very careful not to add any major new characters, and I respect that. I...

I think both movies are failures, myself. Dahl certainly thought the first one was, and I can't blame him. Only thing I liked about that one was Gene Wilder. Of course, my favorite movie based on a Dahl book was Fantastic Mr. Fox, and that was just incredibly Wes Anderson-y. That's the one...

It was another of the "what they should be doing" episodes to me. They spent the first part of the episode essentially making fun of it being one, all the while commenting on how they don't have enough story to go beyond 10 minutes. And that was pretty much half the 10 minutes. Delightfully...

My main complaint is the "Big Face" covers. Comparatively, I don't care how badly photoshopped some movie covers come off because that's at least trying. Just a big character face and a logo? That's supposed to make the DVD pop out in a sea of DVD with a character face and a logo. These...

The thing that bugs me is that even back when the movie was made, the executives didn't think the audience was smart enough to think Oz was a land Dorothy could always travel to, like the books. We got a very iconic ending that everyone parodied, sure... but you just wonder what would have...

Bull, because I've seen plenty of fat teachers in my lifetime.

I mentioned this in the Sesame Street parade float thread, but I think it deserves a good tongue-lashing here. Anyone else catch that disgusting commercial for "Biggest Loser: Temptation Nation?" Now, I'm not really one of those "is nothing sacred" types, but I'm going full Sam the Eagle mode...

I know this is one of those "it's always been like this" type deals, but the Thanksgiving Day Parade might as well call itself the "Christmas Commercialism Parade that just so happens to air on Thanksgiving." Also... do we really need Elf on the Shelf's reindeer pals? I find the whole EOTS...

Again, that's more scary than disturbing. As far as Jim Henson goes, that seems to be very much 60's, early 70's Jim stuff. He did some great abstracts from time to time, and he felt they'd work fine on Sesame Street. Now, it being scary is up for debate, and why something that abstract...

The episode that was an obvious parody of the band ***** aired well after they broke up and were culturally irrelevant. And it wasn't even a close parody. It was one of those really loose "we're still relevant, darnit" ones that had nothing to do with *****. I mean, they didn't play...

It's also on DVD. I was going to get it before this thing aired, but didn't get the chance. I loved it, though. Seems that it takes place before Muscle Man and Starla married.

So CN aired "Free Birds" Wednesday and I actually caught it. It isn't quite terrible, but that's not to say it's good. It had a couple moments, and Mayor Bradford was actually kinda funny in it, but the whole thing felt completely unnecessary and a reason why they don't have Thanksgiving...

I was disappointed by the parade as a whole, actually. It just didn't feel... you know...good. 2 of the new balloons were movie advertisements (we just had to get movie Angry Birds), and the other one, while supposedly a recreation of an older balloon was an advertisement for Sinclair Oil...

Before I take part in any Peanuts TV special reminiscing and discussion, ToughPigs did the entire Muppet fandom a huge favor by tackling an annual annoyance...the poorly drawn "Sesame Street characters sit down to a feast of Big Bird" cartoon I HATE that thing. It wasn't funny the first time...
